dailyadventureprompts:Monsterhunt: Duchess Sahvrina’s Boar Setup: Say what you will about the gods and their vagaries: when they’re upset with you, they’ll let you know. This is the lesson Duchess Irga Sahvrinna learned when at the most recent festival she was called upon by her station to make an offering to the gods that had blessed her lands and given gifts to her subjects. As prideful and petty as any in her station the Duchess deigned not to honor those gods of the old faith, who preside over the wilds and the beasts that dwell within them, as her most recent hunting expeditions had turned up a bust. Equally prideful and petty, the gods of the old faith decided to respond disproportionately to this snub by sending a swine of truly disastrous size to vex the Duchess and her lands. The boar attacks wagons carrying the Duchess’s goods, turns her fields into mudwallows, and marauds about the countryside wrecking buildings, bridges, and other bits of infrastructure commissioned by her family. This justice would be less of a problem for the commonfolk if the Sahvrinna family wasn’t one of the foremost traders, landholders, and civically attentive rulers in the realm, as the boar’s rampage has increasingly calamitous knock on effects. Adventure hooks: Everyone wants the boar gone, but the Duchess herself is putting up the incentive to make it happen. She’s sent word out far and wide that she’s looking for skilled hunters who won’t balk at a little divine wrath if it means making a speedy kill. Rumor has it that along with a princely reward for whoever brings her the beast’s head ( the skull’s weight in gold can’t be right, can it?) she’s planning on bestowing the victorious hunter with lands and maybe even a title. A player of a more naturalistic bent may attempt to seek out the old gods or their representatives in the hopes of pacifying the boar. They’ll find the hermits who speak for that ancient religion in some forgotten corner of the Duchess’s domain, finding great amusement in the beast’s antics and the vexation it causes the Impious ruler.
